. And who told you there is bombing in station close to refinery? I don't know why this country like to carry fake news all able, is just a tank that bornt last night along NPA express road, 5 minutes walking distance away from my home give or take, admin try to educate your posters so that they will not mislead the public wrongly

40% of the stories here are false.. I can bet the op is just looking for traffic

kITATITA:
[size=15pt] There's no bombing. Go and celebrate the poverty of your mindset. A petroleum product tanker caught fire at Nigercat area of Warri last night. Agencies addressed the incident. Nothing more.[/size]

The way this people publish false story is alarming.. I reside in warri i can tell nothing like this happened .. d other day they said militant bombed a Place in Niger Cat.. but that wasn't what happen.

Seun please take down this thread.. i wonder what they benefit spreading lies and rumors

DLuciano:
shameless ill-bred biafran doing that to a fellow biafran all in the name of "ego" (money)

Please keep shut.. How you guys tribalize everything baffles me..

I wonder why anyone would sit in his house and tell me not to get emotional_ psychic much?
You can't even answer simple questions, yet you claim to be logical. If you're that logical, you would know those questions are a subliminal way of telling you, it takes a couple for a marriage to work. Majority of the threads here on NL complaining of bad wives (that's me trying to FOCUS), I haven't seen any_ where it was stated that the wife was brought up by a single mum.
Sooo, what went wrong Mr Logic?

Do you know Nigeria's population? I ask once again.
You met just one lady raised by a single mum, out of millions of Nigerians and you run to NL to create thread...as statistician you be ba?

There are few single dads you say?
Jointly made, jointly owned.
'but somehow the woman gets to be stuck with the kids, most times doesn't get married again, raises them to be strong independent people and you think you can rule them out without giving them a chance? Who exactly are you, Uncle?

I am not 'empathising' with anyone but I know what it takes to train a child. Anyone who does that (independently) gets my support.
Now, go back and answer my questions, stop looking for supporters .

Can i give you a kiss ? You nailed it.. Couldn't reply d op.. don't have his time.. and yea am a Male.. so not all guys think like that.

#Peace

PaperLace:
oh...hush it and don't play that gender card with me.
I asked you a simple question Mr Logic, ain't they better than people brought up by abusive parents?
Yes or No?
What of men brought up by single mothers?
Women brought up by single dads?
The ones brought up by two abusive parents?

I think you're the one that lacks logical reasoning, you expect everyone to come in and agree with you?
So much for a logical man.

Maybe the single mothers should have thrown away the child. Do you guys even remember Nigeria's population before churning out these preposterous and facile assertions? ?

What is even your definition of single mum?
A widow?
Divorcee?
Never been married mother?

Reading wat d op said made me wanna run mad.. I really don't get.. Why d hasty generalization .. To me i can marry any woman.. i just Need a GOOD WIFE

ifenes:
I doubt any pastor will swear with the traditional deities, but they can easily swear with the bible because they know it's not potent.

Ogun vs Jesus, I guess the corrupt Nigerian pastors know the one they will pick.

Traditional gods don't play around. Where is jesus when you need him?

I thought u said Power Don't exist ?.. Atheist be Deceiving themselves since 1900. God is Real

Its clear the pastor was nt sent by God

Everything looks okay here in Warri, Delta, Only heard of this seat at home On NL.. Well I hope buhari atrend to this igbo agitation , They are been marginalized to be sincere.

Sexina851:
I didn't say "Rich men" I said your household cos I know your father didn't even make the list of Ace palm wine tappers In your village, so how can you tag urselves rich?

Babe u wicked o.. please its okay.. lolz.. ur comment thou.. W

Igboid:
I said Ndiigbo has no relationship whatsoever with Itsekiri.

And I stand by it. I don't care about Urhobo relationship with Itsekiri, that's none of my business.

Anyway you slice and dice it. Urhobos had pre colonial interactions with Igbo speaking Abohs, and these interactions involved inter marriage, inter trade and co existence.

Urhobo man cannot deny this interactions and jump to claim relationship with an Ekoi man, under the banner of a nebulous term like Niger Delta.

This remains my point. You lots are the ones spinning this and allowing your innate Igbophobia blind your reasonings.

No where did I indicate that Ndiigbo are interested in forming a nation with Urhobos or their likes, but those were the sentiments that drove the hate unleashed on my harmless first post on this thread.

Ofcourse, I had to reply them with even bigger hate. It's natural that I do.

Let's just forget about this issue.. But Just incase, Don't post such a thing again , to you it might b nothing, but to an Urhobo man U re Insulting him. They mean no harm thou.. just Protecting There own ..

Sanchez01:
Urhobo men are actually strict and harsh. I for one am. The beating part though. I'm not sure I can raise my hand against a woman, let alone bring it down on her . My orientation in that regard is very far from the typical Urhobo man.

I think we need to dispel the polygamous attitude from our lifestyle. Times are fast evolving. Just like Frank AIG Imokhuede's poem, it should be one man, one woman.

Lolz . can't stop laughing .. @ bolded.. oh really.. believe me sometimes a little slap will solve so many issue.. go ask ur granddad.. Ladies need strong hands.. our Urhobo men of these generation are not like our forefathers.

Igboid:
"If you say so... "

This was the OP initial response to my initial post.

But when his hate gang brothers arrived, he went and modified that reply to feed their hate. And so the reply now read as this:


"If you say so...

The aim of this post is not in tandem with your assertions so I won't engage in a futile banter with you".


A wise man do not jump into issues he knows not the genesis.

There you get it wrong. You Excluded the Itsekiri's because you don't even know anything about SS minorities.

Itsekiri just like Urhobo share same similarities, We have the same culture , We are from the same route.. infact the only difference b/w Itsekiri and Urhobo is the language, Why the itsekiri language sounds more of yoruba the Urhobo language sound more of Edo. so how can you have same culture with Urhobo but u claim u don't have anything with itsekiri, Is that possible ?

Now back to your earlier claim.. No Urhobo clan has anything to do with igbo , The reason Y orogun people mix (3-6%) Igbo with our Urhobo was because of inter - marriages & boundary. No were in the History of the Urhobo nation have we heard of such stories,

Now lets take for example the Ofoni people of Bayelsa, Those people are Urhobo but there language is more Ijaw than Urhobo , but they are Urhobo and ijaw haven't lay claim that they originated from Ijo.

please travel out b4 laying claim to culture u know nothing about.

Sanchez01:
A lady asked me recently where I'm from and I told her I'm Urhobo. Guess what she said? 'No no no no, I'm sorry, Urhobo men are very lazy and I know this to be true'

In my mind I was like 'so it has gotten to the point where everyone now knows us (Urhobo men)'

I think beyond laziness, our ladies believe we all have this polygamy tendency, which is not entirely true. Most Urhobo men love polygamy though.

On why we are lazy, I think it all stems from the fact that we believe we have a lot (Oil). Also, it stems from the very many peer groups a typical Urhobo man belongs to, which largely involves gisting unnecessarily while they drink and say nonsense. Urhobo men love conversations. The women get busy during this time while the man is unaware that he is wasting time over nothing. Blame the alcohol too.

While our ladies don't have problems with the alcohol, their fear is that we'll just sit at home and do nothing, yet, brag as the man. An Urhobo man who loses his job is even worse. Those ones don't bother to get busy again.

I really admire Urhobo ladies. They're indeed exceptional

Lolz.. Also they see Urhobo men to be strict and harsh.. me for example i don't take nonsense from any woman... dare cross my part.. u gonna receive a beating of your life.

Also the Alcohol issue is not limited to Urhobo men alone.. d ijaw , Itsekiri e.tc also love alcohol..

As for the polygamy, Its in our blood.. In the olden Days our forefathers married alot of women.. my granddad married 3 Wives.. Lolz.. Reason our girls don't want to marry us.

Sanchez01:
You made a whole lot of sense. Our women are indeed very hardworking. And the stereotype about our women being more hardworking than their male counterpart is true to an extent.

Cultural preservation is key, but it would be a whole lot of disaster for a man who understands just little or no aspect of the culture and then embarks on a journey of upholding cultural values in the home. Unfortunately, inter marriages cannot stop among Urhobos. We've been groomed to be liberal from the outset, which is good, but not all too good.

@the bolded, I find it very funny ... We can't do a thing because we are a minority tribe like other minority tribes. Only the three major ethnic groups are given prominence in schools. I filled an international form recently at my workplace and I was asked to list the languages I speak. Wetin concern me? I added Urhobo as a language. If dem like, make dem check for Google.

Lolz.. we are over 5million , i see no reason why they can't teach atlease 5 Local languages in our school.. atleast we re the 5th largest ethnic group in Nigeria

Also i think our men re lazy, Reason y our ladies don't love getting married to us.. don't know if its cous of Oil money. whats ur view on that

XaintJoel20:
I guess you are from Benue, because the other states in North Central have to a large extend lost their culture, tradition and language to Hausa.

To the extent an Hausa man is ruling a Yoruba land..( kwara) ... They know dere boundary sha..

Ishilove:
Nna na wa o. So na pidgin level you dey since Urhobo you no dey, Ukwuani you no dey, English, you still no dey

Asin i tire for the guy..

Sanchez01:
Lolz... Not necessarily true. I believe it all depends on how deeply rooted YOU are and not about who you marry. True, Urhobos are very liberal people when it comes to marriage. Perhaps, one of the most liberal sef. However, losing or retaining your root after marriage depends on you. You could choose a wife from wherever and still assert your root in the home, spell out what is expected of an Urhobo woman in marriage and also teach your children to love everything about the Urhobos, particularly the foods, stories, dress sense, mostly for the males and many others.

I for one used to have a wicked stereotype about our girls. I used to think they are all too loud and dramatic and uncouth. I'm changing this already because I keep meeting Urhobo ladies now who keep changing my mentality on this. Gold help us.

Urhobo ladies av dere own problem.. But i love them for something.. They are strong and hardworking.. The reason i said we need to Marry ourselves is because marrying each other will go a long way in preserving our culture... i hope u know hw our land was taken in Warri ?. if we married ourselves those problem wouldn't av originated.

As for me. Urhobo Wife or i remain single.. And y is our language not taught in Secondary schools ?.. wats wrong with this state self

LKO:
Udu, Ughelli South and Uvwie (Udumowhori, Ekpan).

Hmmm.. So whats your contribution ?.. how can we preserve our language.. especially the Uvwie and okpe dialect

bigfrancis21:
From my observation, deep Igbo dialects are harder to learn than the Onitsha or central Igbo which is way simpler in sentence structure and vocabulary. Just as Lagos Yoruba (simple in structure) is easier to pick up than more concentrated Yoruba dialects such as Ijebu. It is often easier for deep Igbo speakers to switch to central/Onitsha Igbo than vice versa. Such dialects are best learnt at childhood or during one's teenage years. I am surprised at how you are still not fluent at it despite starting at 12 to learn Ukwuani.

Deep igbo ?.. to me i see all Igbo languages to b easy o.. except those Ebonyi Dialect.. those ones en.. there igbo is like Chinese

LKO:
OK sir. Points well noted. What area are u from?

Actually from Ethiope east but grew up Here.. And u ?

LKO:
Is Afieki and Udumowori not Ekpan? It seems u are not even getting my point. Anyway, thanks.

got it bro.. was just trying to say that those speaking the uvwie dialect are more concentrated in those Area / Street unlike area like New layout, Agadaga e.t.c those place re been inhabited by non indigene .so you won't find any native speaker there that was why i made reference to those particular place cous that's the core place in ekpan and we have more than 2thousand speaker alone in those area.

Hope u got wat am trying to say ?

Sexina851:
Exactly! Clap for yourself you are a smart learner

lolz . yes teacher
What of money ?.. can you teach me how to cal. money .. like 1k 2k e.tc

Sexina851:

Onegai:
We live in Lagos.

Ohh.. i see. You can send someone money (Maybe ur frnd or family member) To get you a Copy of some Urhobo textbook , will go to any school closer to me here in warri to ask for the book they re currently using ..

I'd suggest you get a home teacher.. please do anything to teach them our language.. Please and please.. those kids re the leaders of tomorrow

Sexina851:
Lol, I don't even want an Urhobo man for a husband, they are too strict, imagine just last week my dad was teaching me days of the week in Urhobo, dis morning he called me to revise it to him one by one, even As old as I am

Fratermathy Wor' Mre' Leer' … This is what am saying .. He don't want to marry an Urhobo man for no just reason.. chai.. i go cry oo.. so tell me which tribe do u prefer ?.. Urhobo men rock

@Bolded. lolz.. can't stop laughing... Even me i don't know any days in Urhobo.. I only know eSundayEe, Emonday'Eee, Etuesday'Eee

fratermathy:
This issue of marriage is even the fear I have with my current fiancee. She hails from Asaba where they speak an Igboid dialect. She is very good with her language so I have fears that if I marry her, my children may end up speaking Igbo, rather than Urhobo. However, whether I marry her or not, I have resolved to give all my children Urhobo names and take them home if I can. I am also going to employ an Urhobo teacher and I will personally speak Urhobo with them and enforce them to see Urhobo cartoons, movies, books, etc. They can also learn Igbo or any other language if they so wish but I must emphasise Urhobo as their mother tongue.

There is a Professor from my village who married a Yoruba woman from Ilorin. His children are all lost. They bear Urhobo names but effectively identify as Yorubas. One even changed her name from Oghenetejiri to Temi. It makes me sad anytime I see them speaking Yoruba and rapping it. The man did nothing to contain the situation and today, his only legacy in their lives is the name they bear.

Lolz.. Don't know why we love getting married to outsiders, To me thats the no. 1 problem, We love getting married to Yoruba , Edo e.tc and at d end those tribe subdue ours .. Take for example Fatia balogun, that Yoruba actress, She is from Urhobo But can't speak her language fluently

I already made up my mind to get married to an Urhobo lady.. so i go preserve our identity.. I can't speak Urhobo, Imagine me getting married to an Itsekiri, Yoruba, ijaw or an Igbo lady.. I won't b able to Urhobonize my kids..

I think You should come up with Ideas on how to promote our language online.. many of us might contribute to the success of such program. please think about it.

Sexina851:
Op you very right. But in my house, u dare not speak
oyibo near my Dad oo, except u dey find ukpetu..

Lolz.. i luv that.. My mom do speak Urhobo to us.. but we reply with English.. thats the problem.. The fear of the writer (Fratermathy), is that we may loose our language in the near future if we continue like this.

Please learn Urhobo well o.. maybe i might marry u #Just kiding

bigfrancis21:
Hey guys, it is enough. Let us not turn this thread into an Urhobo vs Igbo thread. This is a thread for Urhobos and their language revival. Everyone is welcome to post here but let us limit it to Urhobo matters please. cc Igboid, Enuguboy4nsk, blues20 etc.

Urhobo guys, please keep mentions of anything Igbo to the barest minimum, as it attracts unwanted attention. cc frathermarthy, CEOMYN

I will begin to hide any unrelated posts after this post.

Thanks.. Look at how they derailed this wonderful thread.. Op God bless you for this post.. En en.. Before i go make i salute all of una.. Una Well done ooo..

One Love. #Peace#

Igboid:
Stop it already. Why not say Urhobo don't like you. How hard will that be?

Why hide behind hazy term like SS?

Does the Ijaw and Itsekiri love themselves in Warri?

What exactly is wrong with you lots? Speak for your group, and don't try to project your Igbo hate on other neighboring non Igbo groups in SS that have always been in good terms with Ndiigbo by pretending you speak for them.

Like i said earlier.. Urhobo don't hate u.. i was only trying to correct one of ur own insulting Us ... Don't turn me into a tribalist.. The Op was just pointing out the fact that Urhobo can't trace her origin to Igbo.. That's just the issue.

And sorry if u feel offended by what Fratermathy or me said.. am sorry if u feel offended.

#Peace#.
